The Sound of Ashana

The crystal bowls played on All Is Forgiven are made of pure quartz crystal that has been infused with precious minerals, metals and elements. These bowls are smaller and lighter than the traditional classic frosted crystal singing bowls and have a more penetrating, resonant ring that is rich in musical overtones. Energetically, these alchemical bowls help entrain us to higher, more refined, vibratory frequencies.

Next month, I begin recording a new CD, a collection of songs, chants and improvisations honoring the Divine Feminine.
During this time of preparation, I feel the energies gathering and the frequencies accelerating.
Although I’ve never had a child, it is like a birthing to me. There is a slow gestation period, where I sense a [...]

Anyone who hears even one song is liable to become a fan of Ashana, a kirtan singer and gifted spirit player of crystal singing-bowls, who possesses a voice so clear and pure it melts even the most reticent of hearts. Beloved finds the singer teaming up with producer Thomas Barquee…

It’s easy for an artist to perform when everything appears to be going right. The audience loves the music, all the musicians are “on”, the technical stuff is working the way it’s supposed to, the space is sacred and beautiful, you feel totally loved and supported and as if by magic, you just fall into “the zone” and sing your little heart out~Ashana

The words for “Opening To Love” were inspired by my friendship with an extraordinary and dearly loved friend, Robert Frey, who died five years ago. Robert was a totally magical human being. He was like an elf in human form and one of the kindest and most loving people I have ever known. A musician and songwriter, Robert led tantra workshops, was a counselor and helped people learn how to have healthy relationships. One of the last songs he recorded was a very simple chant “I am opening to love.” ~ Ashana

I have wanted to write a song about the breath for the longest time. Scott Kalechstein, a very wonderful writer of inspirational English chants, has a beautiful piece called “Closer and Closer,” which I have sung for many, many years. His piece really was the initial inspiration behind “You Are My Breath.” Daniel Ladinsky’s poem, “The Christ’s Breath” was the second. Shortly after reading this poem the lyrics to “You Are My Breath” galloped onto the page~Ashana
